By Chris HedgesScheerpostI visited Donald Trump’s Taj Mahal Casino in Atlantic City the day before it closed in October 2016. A neon sign with red and gold lettering read: “Trump Taj Mahal Casino and Resort.” The Trump Taj Mahal, New Jersey’s tallest building and the world’s largest casino, cost $1.2 billion to build. The Trump Taj Mahal, like our republic, was about to die. The Trump Plaza and the Trump Taj Mahal casinos were shut down.
